Cor granada médio/ escuro. Ao início, uma ligeira nuance de princípio de avinagramento, que felizmente se atenuou quase totalmente após tomar ar, fruta já indo embora, vaga lembrança de cerejas, notas condimentadas com sugestão herbácea e sutil mineralidade. Na boca é elegante, de corpo médio, seco, com fruta austera e acidez correta, já um pouco decadente. Ainda agradou, mas possivelmente teria sido ótimo se não tivesse ficado por tempo demais nas (duvidosas) condições de guarda da importadora.

Medium deep red, clear. Cherry, berry with notes of tobacco, leather and, yes, even bay leaf (now that I read the IWC note). Moderately rich for chianti, but still classically styled as this has acid and tannin to balance the wonderful fruit that is, for now, restrained on opening and actually much more apparent on day#3, when this wine is just beautiful. It was a little tannic/austere on opening and has improved over 2 days considerable. This wine needs time. Try next in 2014/2015.

On the nose cherries and black fruits, leather and tabacco. Good structure and power. On the palate a bit austere but combined with food this wine does quite well. It's well worth decanting for at least an hour to soften the wine a bit.

Risoto em casa com Gimenez e Iramaia: Um chiante leve, com taninos arredondados, otimo acompanhamento pros petiscos.
